Sheeple never leads revolutions for the status quo is too powerful. No, your guns and 401k and votes are nothing when compared to those men who control the institutions such as military, federal reserve, and media.

It is when one the elites had enough decides to splits themselves and enlists the lower class to fight.

Sheeple are just an after thought. Actually it doesn't matter for sheeple for they are screwed for generations doing hard work and giving whoever is in power half of their labor.

The fight is always elite VS elite.

The great recession has made some elites very angry becuase they just found out their co-elites at wall st. stabbed them in the back. It is the Chinese billionares, Iranian oil titans, Russian gas oligarchs who are the other elite. American workers are nobody.

Too many people are afraid of mathematics because our schools have made it far more difficult than it is, and in fact don't want you to understand it or its foundations, or its implications because those lead directly to God as the only logical conclusion of the universe we live in.

You may or may not want to buy his book. I'll tell you this, it is not an easy book. If you are interested, it will take a lot of personal time and concentration, but if you are willing, it will give you the basis of all math and philosophy that you need to build on in order to come to a logical conclusion in any argument. And you don't have to be a math whiz to get it, it is all laid out for you but you do have to concentrate and think about it.

Math can certainly be made easier and more approachable than the drudgery at school, yes, but putting a definite spiritual spin on it is not the way to sell it to a broad audience that are handicapped by their school experiences.

Sheeple are people who, like sheep, unquestioningly follow their masters to get fleeced. and the sad thing is that the sheeple who on their way to get fleeced think they are so much smarter than the "crazy conspiracy nut" who is trying to warn them of their fate if they continue following their master.

Everyone here is most likely a sheeple. You know the system is fucking you in the ass but you won't lift a finger -- except to rant on blogs, which is just pitiful whining.

All it takes to bring down this house of cards is a consumer strike. Just stop buying crap on credit and live within your means. That would starve the beast once and for all. If we all went further and only bought necessities, the whole economy and tax collection would go back to the 50s.

You are sheeple because you are afraid to do anything expect wait for the inevitable axe to fall and hope someone else gets it first. Face it.

"Everyone here is most likely a sheeple." Nice try, Woolcoat. Unless we take a charitable interpretation of your statement as meaning, 'on account of a confluence of popular factors, any random individual has a final probability of sheeplehood that indicates a likelihood of inclusion', then we have to dismiss this blanket statement. Certainly, however rare, there are some persons who do not qualify as sheeple; it does seem to be my experience that those people tend to be somewhat prolific international travelers, and one tends to meet those people while traveling internationally.

Break your cultural chains: get off the continent where you were born.

Consider a child raised in Nazi Germany in the Hitler Youth. What sort of value system would that child grow up with. What are the chances that he will ever decide to change his worldview? If he does, will he be rewarded or punished?

now...Consider a child raised in a system where greed and usury and certain forms of plunder (corporate takeovers, etc.) are considered accepted norms and even rewarded. He will develop a set of values that justify these things. He may still know that something is wrong on a deep level but not understand what it is or have the wisdom to correct it. Understanding and Wisdom are the key.

We are not operating under the original system. It is only the traces of the original system that are still left that are the cause of any remaining prosperity and that is dimming fast. Imagine how cool things would be if they put the original system back. Under the original system, the USA made 50 percent of the worlds goods and our Federal Treasury balance had grown to the point it became an embarassment and a temptation.

What was the real cause of the Great Depression? The Bank Panics, etc. Hint (it was not what they say in your history books). Google "McFadden 1932" and read the book above. Once you discern the truth, you know it is the truth.

By the way something, everybody's heard of "the lone wolf", but have you ever heard of "the lone sheep"? Herding behavior does have its advantages, if, as you say, you're not the sheperd, or even a border collie.

Take a myer-briggs personality test and watch your 'unique roguey-ness' get shoehorned into neat profile. You're 99.99999999999% genetically similar to everyone else, only your life experience makes you more unique than one ant is to another. OTherwise we might as well be.

The fact that you speak the same language as me means that you're already part of the flock, your thoughts are described in terms common to others.

Sit down, and try and do something totally unique. I dare ya. Do something no one has ever done before. Pretty much impossible.

Take some carming breaths, its ok to be human. I'll brae first to make you feel more comfortable.

(PS I was certain someone would make a reference to telephone marketing or polling of some kind, to quip about being in the 1%. So in that respect too, you behaved as expected...)

Art & music much? Sorry, bub, but the act of composing--each poem, novel, etc, even philosophical treatises--is unique. Maybe the hacks copy, but there are legitimately creative people, not to mention the innovative. Hell, even in the small town where I live, there's a benign nutter expat from Michigan who misses the lakes...and got it into his head to build a series of collapseable kayaks from PVC pipe with clear plastic skin, and the whole thing can fit in a backpack.

Lone wolf is just a way of looking at it, I havent felt attacked by you for a second... why do you say that?

It boils down to the argument:

Are you concerned what other people think of you? Do you actively do everything you can to blend in? This is the typical sheep-behaviour.

Or couldnt you care less and are instead looking for personal freedom and fulfillment?

You see, the first (the sheep) sees fullfillment only thru the judgement others give, the latter (the cat) finds fullfillment on his own.

Of course we all have our habits, and can therefore be profiled. But the more free you are, the more you will make unexpected transitions or paradox moves in your daily behaviour. Call it impulsion if you want.

I for example have been a freelancer autodidact entrepreneur/artist all of my life. And I can see only one constant factor in my life: CHANGE!

I feel free, because I change all the time.

If I were a sheep, I would have my plain vanilla job, and know and care only about how fast the time will go by so I can collect my pay check end of the month.

PS: I dont get your point: "entrepreneur equals arrogant risk taker".... I would call a gambler an arrogant risktaker, and an entrepreneur someone who tries to control the risk as much as possible. So you see? A completely different point of view I make. THATS individuality.

An artist tries every day to see the world a little bit differently than the day before, A bureaucrat tries to make every day EXACTLY the same as yesterday. So how you can even compare those two, or not see the difference is beyond me. :-)

sorry to be the first but the free will thinggy is another illusion too ;-)

everybody (including you) who accomodates himself in his belief system (and you have very much accomodated yourself in your belief system) tends to be a sheeple, admit i must an impulsive sheeple. but your looking down on the plain vanilla guy is the very real essence of sheepleism. you are this plain vanilla (artist) guy with a fixed belief system, to NOT cash in a regular paycheck) you are not something special.

free will oh my

perhaps plain vanilla job for a few years just as experience would be the real change for you. but even your refusal to admit it could be something good to experience plain vanilla workerbee, paints you more in the artist-sheeple corner

remember free will is an illusion the brain creates to justify behavior,

lol, yeah, and matter is mostly empty space... makes it look like an "illusion" too, but thats not the point.

I believe there is free will, but of course we humans consist of two different planes of consciousness,

the conscious mind and the unconscious.

Now if scientists claim that every conscious decision is preceded by an unconscious activity in our brain... that doesnt mean we have no free will (read the end of the article you yourself posted!).

Its funny how you call me a sheep when you are the one trying to challenge the very existence of freedom. Thats a scary contradiction right there.

Look, of course we are in a way biological machines... and we are slow.... thats the main characteristic of our brain i would say... it is slow!

My willingness to make a cup of coffee needed about 10 seconds to find its way out of my dark unconsciousness.... does this mean I am not free?

Of course, the urge to drink coffee might be just an uncontrolled addiction. But what if I had decided to NOT drink a coffee today... although my body screams for one?

What if I smoked for 10 years, and am now 10 years smoke-free? What made me free? If I was only controlled by my body.... then I would still smoke!

PS: about the plain vanilla jobs.... I started out with those right after school..... hated it...... made me embrace the real freedom you have as an enterpreneur much more.... I dont need a boss! I need to wake up every morning and think about:"how can I make money and have fun today..."

Angry sheeple, self aware sheeple, seem to think that makes them spezal, but we're all part of the same dynamic flock..

///////////////////////////////////////

Sheeple is an improper notion.

It is a label invented and promoted by US citizens who are losing their status to belittle US citizens who are keeping their status.

US citizens consent to their elite actions, they authorize them.

There is no sheeple. Only US citizens who actively participate and enable their US citizen elite schemes and US citizens who wish they could still participate actively to their elite schemes. And get rewarded accordingly of course.

you don't have to be wealthy to understand the difference between fiat and gold/silver backed money. All you need is to be EDUCATED (and i'm not talking about degrees issued by an institution).

There are many free books online (Rothbard, Mises, Von Hayek) that explain all this, if only you take the time to.

Ron Paul cured my apathy, got me interested in this stuff and made me do research. At first his ideas seemed radical, when i researched them I realised that nothing he's spoken about is new, it is as it always was. Kings have always debased their currencies, their empires have always crashed. This is happening today. With each progressive president elected, we get closer and closer to a 'King', and with each successive federal reserve chairman we get ever more debasement of our currency.

I'm sitting here trying to think who hasn't sold their people down a river, either directly or indirectly via reckless policy making... Iceland maybe? But the 1%ers still managed to screw the country over.. if not as thoroughly as in Greece or Ireland.

I'm an Aussie, and whilst things look fine n' dandy here, our 1%ers have managed to build a housing bubble thats the envy of the world. And we all know how that story will end.

Good question. I would initially say that it's people who are unknowing about the crap that going on around them, but... they are in fact aware of it, though is a massively simplified, bastardized and distorted version, delivered by the MSM.

Then I would specify it further by saying that they're not really caring about its specifics, but again, all the national-economic info and financial know-how that daily readers of ZH take for granted is, like it or not, specialist knowledge, and common peopel have enough crap and busy-ness in their lives to sit themselves down and pore over a new dictionary of terms and concepts to learn more correctly whats going on around them irt. the bankins and "financial crisis" etc.

Then I could say that it's people who play along with the bankers and government's game, but in all honesty, I am too, as I in some degree participate in a societal economy, which is taxed by a government system, which pumps funds into the contemporary EU circus, and I'm honestly not at the point where I want to move to a dark, damp cave in a forest to declare my disgust with the state of things.

Actually, it's a bloody good question!

I think a better question, that it leads to, may be:

What can we DO about the shit we see happening before our eyes these days?

The girl giving America the finger was ALL Madonna. That girl would never have done that without M approval. It was to create controversy. Tyical Madonna - she is supposedly very musky and nver cleans her....

I do not watch TV because it is for sheeple retards who love the muslim and who like to empower their illuminato overlords. Dumb sheep.

COSTELLO: I want to talk about the unemployment rate in America.ABBOTT: Good Subject. Terrible times. It's 9%.

COSTELLO: That many people are out of work?ABBOTT: No, that's 16%.

COSTELLO: You just said 9%.ABBOTT: 9% Unemployed.

COSTELLO: Right 9% out of work.ABBOTT: No, that's 16%.

COSTELLO: Okay, so it's 16% unemployed.ABBOTT: No, that's 9%...

COSTELLO: Wait a minute. Is it 9% or 16%?ABBOTT: 9% are unemployed. 16% are out of work.

COSTELLO: IF you are out of work you are unemployed.ABBOTT: No, you can't count the "Out of Work" as the unemployed. You have to look for work to be unemployed.

COSTELLO: BUT THEY ARE OUT OF WORK!ABBOTT: No, you miss my point.

COSTELLO: What point?ABBOTT: Someone who doesn't look for work, can't be counted with those who look for work. It wouldn't be fair.

COSTELLO: To whom?ABBOTT: The unemployed.

COSTELLO: But they are ALL out of work.ABBOTT: No, the unemployed are actively looking for work. Those who are out of work stopped looking. They gave up. And, if you give up, you are no longer in the ranks of the unemployed.

COSTELLO: So if you're off the unemployment roles, that would count as less unemployment?ABBOTT: Unemployment would go down. Absolutely!

COSTELLO: The unemployment just goes down because you don't look for work?ABBOTT: Absolutely it goes down. That's how you get to 9%. Otherwise it would be 16%. You don't want to read about 16% unemployment do ya?

COSTELLO: That would be frightening.ABBOTT: Absolutely.

COSTELLO: Wait, I got a question for you. That means they're two ways to bring down the unemployment number?ABBOTT: Two ways is correct.

COSTELLO: Unemployment can go down if someone gets a job?ABBOTT: Correct.

COSTELLO: And unemployment can also go down if you stop looking for a job?ABBOTT: Bingo.

COSTELLO: So there are two ways to bring unemployment down, and the easier of the two is to just stop looking for work.ABBOTT: Now you're thinking like an economist.

2. Who are those Monies Participated Out too? That the Federal Reserve Bank Collected?

Who owns the Federal Reserve?

The Federal Reserve System fulfills its public mission as an independent entity within government. It is not "owned" by anyone and is not a private, profit-making institution.

As the nation's central bank, the Federal Reserve derives its authority from the Congress of the United States. It is considered an independent central bank because its monetary policy decisions do not have to be approved by the President or anyone else in the executive or legislative branches of government, it does not receive funding appropriated by the Congress, and the terms of the members of the Board of Governors span multiple presidential and congressional terms.

However, the Federal Reserve is subject to oversight by the Congress, which often reviews the Federal Reserve's activities and can alter its responsibilities by statute. Therefore, the Federal Reserve can be more accurately described as "independent within the government" rather than "independent of government."

The 12 regional Federal Reserve Banks, which were established by the Congress as the operating arms of the nation's central banking system, are organized similarly to private corporations--possibly leading to some confusion about "ownership." For example, the Reserve Banks issue shares of stock to member banks. However, owning Reserve Bank stock is quite different from owning stock in a private company. The Reserve Banks are not operated for profit, and ownership of a certain amount of stock is, by law, a condition of membership in the System. The stock may not be sold, traded, or pledged as security for a loan; dividends are, by law, 6 percent per year.

Read this old book, then the speech, then find a Serires 1913 FRN $5.00 or $10.00 or whatever denomination you can find, and read the fine print on the back.. After you get done reading the fine print, then find out if you can still redeem that note. You will understand what it was redeemable for after reading this book. Redeem is a very key word to think about.

If your Dumb Ass (you fucking sheep) would have clicked on the LINK (below) you would have read in FED's description of how YOU are being fucked!

The cause of dislocations in price may be the disappearance of liquidity in situations of stress. Andrew Haldane argues that the advent of HFT and fragmentation may have made this more likely, with HFT firms more inclined to withdraw liquidity. Meanwhile, longer-term investors may be either unable or unwilling to fill the liquidity gap because HFT activity makes this unprofitable or risky. The result is a potential double liquidity void and a greater dislocation of prices at times of stress. Many of these features were evident during the so called "Flash Crash" of 6 May 2010 with HFT ".adding liquidity during a monsoon and absorbing it during a drought".

Wow. That whole My Weather Application schtick he was riffing on seemed extremely creepy. Like he was talking a whole different subtext to another audience altogether, it almost seemed like he was advertising..."Yeah, we control the drought now...govern yourself accordingly..." Truly disturbing.

see how he was "set up" for the advert - the "newscaster" asks the question, and Rothschild begins looking at his notes, reading his script to pump his product. . .

but yeah, anyone who doesn't realise the weather is heavily manipulated now, isn't paying attention. . . hardly surprising any more tho' - this is another form of "war" to those who play their games. . .

I don't think I've ever seen over 100 up arrows and no down arrows before. I wanted to give you a down arrow just to be a contrarian , but I couldn't think of a legitimate reason. Your piece was brilliant. Well done.

All of us Brainiacs here on ZH better keep in mind that the reason George Bush ( and don't get me started on Sarah) was so pupular with the people who also couldn't pronounce newculer was that they were smart enough to realize that it was THEIR dumbshit in the White House and all those smart jerks were outside the fence showing off how smart they were to each other.

Also it's worth remembering that not too long ago in Cambodia a grade school vocabulary, or even wearing a pair of glasses, was enough to put you face down in a rice paddy. Divide and conquer is a maxim all too well understood by TPTB, and it seems to me with all our talk about 'sheeple' here on ZH and elsewhere we're doing their heavy lifting for them. Whatever happened to the idea of forging alliances? Do any of us really really smart people actually think that mocking those who are still deaf, dumb and blind is going to win them over, or help them see the light? Intellectual snobs may think they are smarter than those who dont speak so good, but we are in a definite, vulnerable minority and we better wake up and figure out some way to make friends with all those 'sheeple' before we find ourselves looking through barbed wire at lots of them in uniforms with guns, guarding our sorry asses.

Curious post. So all the people who are like George Bush and Sarah Palin are stupid sheep. I take it by your post that you believe all those mindless zombies who worship Obummer and feed at the trough keynesian economics are of a different breed. Maybe even intellectually superior. In my book all non critical thinking people are sheeple regardless of which fool they follow.

The difference is in your example you aren't trying to identify a class of people / sheeple. The original post only identified the sheeple as those people who followed the likes of Bush and Palin. In my view a blind follower of any person / party falls into the sheeple catigory. I watched with disbelief as people blindly followed Bush into war and then I watched people with disbelief as they fawned over Obama speaking platitudes.
I'm a Ron Paul voter only because I believe the enemy is the state. However , I don't blindly follow him either. I see him as an ends to a means.

Hi Dr E. - couldn't agree more - I was just following my 'newculer' metaphor. Didn't mean to exclude the Obummer followers from the definition. However, I stand by my contention that making fun of stupid people isn't the way that superior minds ( like yours no doubt) are going to prevail.

I don't think of myself as having a superior mind. I just consider myself an observer who pays attention. I know a lot of very smart people who choose to stay asleep because , to them the alternative is too painful.

I'm afraid that is going to be the trend for some time to come, at least that's how I see it. I'm going to generalize here, but the "smart people who are asleep" are most likely asleep because they have a paycheck that depends on there complacency in some form or another to the system.

Tomorrow you wake up and turn on the TV news to learn of nationwide mass strikes, protests, riots, civil disobedience, marches on the capitol - people across the country demandingreal change.

You become elated, thrilled even, and give yourself a pat on the back, vindicated in your persistent hope that one day the tipping point would come when "they'd finally wake up". "I always knew they'd see the light eventually! I never gave up hope!"

You return your attention to the TV where a popular leader is being interviewed about the demands of this nascient mass movement. Eagerly and with baited breath you wait to hear it - your own private fantasy list of all the ways you'd change things if you could.

But this is not what you hear.

One by one they are read-off: the ten planks of the communist manifesto.

Congratulations.

The revolution is upon us, the great popular awakening, the day for which we all longed. The sheeple have awoken and things are going to change!

Worried about losing your"I'm all right so ef all the rest." place? I guess then everyone else who has already been screwed by your idols better call it all off and stick with the plutocracy you knows, hunh?

Just because you think you're at the end of the line doesn't mean you're not next.

"This is particularly the attitude of intelligent, cultivated people; one can read the substance of it in a hundred essays. Very few cultivated people have less than (say) four hundred pounds a year, and naturally they side with the rich, because they imagine that any liberty conceded to the poor is a threat to their own liberty. Foreseeing some dismal Marxian Utopia as the alternative, the educated man prefers to keep things as they are. Possibly he does not like his fellow-rich very much, but he supposes that even the vulgarest of them are less inimical to his pleasures, more his kind of people, than the poor, and that he had better stand by them. It is this fear of a supposedly dangerous mob that makes nearly all intelligent people conservative in their opinions. " Eric Blair

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Made me laugh. Very good.

The very idea of alliance was destroyed by US citizenism.

One has to be clear about that.

What has US citizenism offered? US citizenism has always been from the start an elitistic project, selling the idea that it was up to you to turn into elite.

This project has consumed an incredible amount of resources and were now nearing the point that there is simply no longer enough resources for every candidate to ascent to the status of US citizen elite.

As the moving up stalls, US citizens who failed to achieve the ascension are going down, as resources are needed to sustain the US citizen elite in their ways.

To give the illusion that everyone could be elite credibility, US citizens have monetized every single kind of conflict they were able to imagine.

Now, really, you are trying to sell the idea that the guy you stamped in the face in order to climb on him to try and reach the sky will welcome you as you slowly fall down? That this guy will help you to follow your private vendetta against the group of elite you wanna be part of and failed to?

Completely surreal.

US citizenism have turned many divide which were illusory at start into reality.

That is the way it is.

What is going to happen? Well, as US citizens will slowly lose their inborn status (so they thought), they will have to face the burden of the past.

This will create a need for security, a need for being protected from the people you crushed on your path to heavens, that security need will be satisfied by US citizen elite.
So dont worry, your former pals are going to make money out of you. Again.
